Product Description

Product Description

Towards the end of the twenty-first century 41 Worlds, small satellites with a total population of half a million, orbit the Earth, which has seen many changes, not least of which is a second revolution in America. Marianne O'Hara, a brilliant political sciences student, is from New New York, a hollowed out asteroid and the largest of the Worlds, but is to spend a year on Earth as a postgraduate student. Because the political relationship between the Worlds and Earth is complex and voltatile, Marianne unwittingly finds herself caught up with a group of fanatics determined on a third revolution in America - even if such a revolution could lead to the destruction of the Earth...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 11 Jan 2002
This, and the other two books in the trilogy (Worlds Apart and Worlds Enough And Time), is an amazing book.

The central character, Marianne O'Hara, is always believable and the World she lives in is brilliantly realised and always consistent.

Buy all three! :-)
